It's the same thing in the same way that Text::Markdown is "just  
markdown, packaged differently".

Yes, please also keep Text::MultiMarkdown. This is actually *much  
more* different to fletcher's MultiMarkdown than Text::Markdown is to  
Markdown.pl - as with my refactoring, MultiMarkdown is able to just  
overload / hook into Text::Markdown (as I've created the relevant  
hook points), as opposed to being a copy & paste of original markdown  
with bits stuck on the side.. (No offense meant here - I'm only able  
to do this as I'm *also* maintaining a fork of Markdown).

Again, I'm aiming form *zero difference* between Text::MultiMarkdown  
and 'official' MultiMarkdown, except for bugs that I've fixed (so we  
shouldn't *expect* difference, and if it's found,  and I don't have  
an explicit test in my distribution to cover it - it's a bug in my  
code and I *will fix it*).. My code does pass all of Fletcher's test  
suite, so I'm sure it's pretty similar. ;)

As previously noted, s/MultiMarkdown/Markdown/g; s/Fletcher/John/g;  
in the paragraph above is also be true.
